I am an undergraduate engineer so I work on a team 3 days a week and study with Warwick 2 days a week. I am in my first year so my team for work changes every 3 months so I get an overview of all types of engineering
So far I have learnt mainly programming and have learnt multiple languages such as Node JS, C sharp and Python. I have also developed my soft skills such as teamwork and communication.
I have enjoyed it a lot, the study/work balance works really well to keep everything interesting and doesn't feel repetitive at all.
Very well organised, get whole timetables for each team very early knowing which days are lectures, work, exams and days off.
A lot of support is available, both academic and workplace and there are multiple people to talk to about any concerns that arise.
We have apprenticeship logging days and meeting which helps me keep on top of everything to do with the apprenticeship qualification.
I feel like the lectures really help me with my workplace which solidifies what i have learnt in lectures so i feel that i am developing very quickly.
Yes, the undergraduate experience committee puts on a lot of events to help socially. The only downside is the absence of sport teams but that is due to the small cohort size.
Yes
I feel like i am developing much quicker than if i was studying at university so i believe that i will become a better engineer from studying at Dyson.
Don't stress about the long admissions process, all of the staff are very supportive at every stage.
